The P4000M: a pressurized water treatment system that performs above and beyond other available mobile treatment systems in this sector. The system uses the principle of rapid direct sand filtration and Ultra membrane filtration assisted by coagulation and flocculation. The high performance of the P4000M was developed through rigorous testing and it has been proven to treat raw water with a turbidity level of 500 NTU and produce 4m3/hr of treated water, with a turbidity level of <2 NTU and a 99.9999% removal of harmful bacteria. This system has been proven reliable and extremely affordable and with a short, but specific amount of training anyone can use this system effectively.

he P4000 is a non-electric pressurized water treatment system that performs above and beyond other available mobile treatment systems in this sector. The system uses the principle of rapid direct sand filtration assisted by coagulation, flocculation and chlorination. The P4000M includes Ultrafiltration. The high performance of the P4000 was developed through rigorous testing in the UK and India.

Throughput: 4000L/hr

Water quality improvement: It has been proven to treat raw water with a turbidity level of 300 NTU and produce
4000l/hr of treated water, with a turbidity level of <5 NTU.
Treatment cycle run time:
Before the treatment system will need cleaning through a backwash it has been proven to run for around 2 hours at 50 NTU and 50 minutes at 300 NTU.

Performance Data
P4000(M) Water Treatment System overview
Reliability: Extensive research and development of this kit has ensured that this system is extremely effective and reliable in its operation for use in disaster response.
Maintenance level: This is a low maintenance system,being non-electric there are few components that would malfunction. Daily cleaning routines will keep the system running effectively. For the P4000M the membrane will need to be chemically cleaned periodically, eventually replaced.

Rate and ease of deployment: Due to an individual skid set up only 4 people are needed to transport the system to the required location. The inclusion of attachable transport handles for each skid allows for ease of movement.
Capital and operational cost: The P4000 is $8000, P4000M is $10,000 (a third of the cost of other treatment systems on the market). Operational costs include fuel, around 1L/hr, chemicals: coagulant and chlorine.

Required consumerables: Kit is provided with 25kg of coagulant and 5kg of chlorine. This is to last for 1 month; further consumerables will need to be purchased. There is no prescribed requirement for imported chemicals and no need for polyelectrolytes.
